"You have to be diligent about saying, ‘no.’ There are people who will want to buy into your brand, but we say ‘no’ more often than we say ‘yes.' It has to be the right person, and if we’re not comfortable with that person, it’s better to say no for the long-term. That’s tough when you’re trying to build a brand." - Nancy Bigley, CEO & Co-owner, Bottle & Bottega

From Corporate America to Entrepreneurship, the chosen path to pursue passion and devote vision, talent and energy to one's own business is a dream many have, but few follow. This week on Franchise Today, co-hosts Stan Friedman and Paul Segreto welcome Nancy Bigley, CEO & Co-owner of Bottle & Bottega, a growing brand in the booming paint & sip industry of franchising.

Nancy discusses her journey along with that of other female entrepreneurs that have become franchisees of the brand. Extremely active in the International Franchise Association, Nancy also talks about her leadership role in the Women's Franchise Network and shares her perspective on issues affecting franchising and small business today.

Franchise Today airs LIVE Wednesdays at 11AM CT / 12PM ET with on-demand access on iTunes.
